To all whom it may concern l Be it known-that I, MAnriri A; Pom),

citizen of the United States, residing at Bristol, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and" useful Improvementin Gash-Carrier Boxes,-

- of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to the cable grip ping means of cash carrier boxes of the type which have a metallic cash andcheck box properwith an upper plate of sound? insulating material, a lower plate of metal and an intervening block at sonnd insulating material 'sectiredto the bottom of the box'for guiding it between the two rails of the track, and a fixed catch member and oscillatingcatchmember' for gripping the I g cable that runs continuously ad aearryin cent to the track. The object of the invention is to provide gripping means-for 'bo'xe'sof this character, which is cheap to construct, diirable in use, easy to repair, andefficient in operation, and" which will not occupy any-space in the box proper. V

'This object is attained by pivoting the oscillatory catch member on.a studgthat is secured: to and extends upwardly from the lower metallic guide plate through wh ch the oscillatory catchmember projects,- and enga-gin'gthe end ofthe oscillatory catch member which .is adapted to swingtoward 'fr'om thefixed catch member that is secared to the bottom of the box p'roper projects downward through the lower giiide" plate, by the freeend o'fa wire sprlng which is arranged to throw and retain the oscilla- 1 tor'y' catch member a't both limits of its movement and is coiled abont'a stndthat'f extends upward from the lower guide plate." In the accompanying drawings Figure 1- showsa bottom view of a cash cairierbox that embed iesfthinventlon; Fig. 2 1s; a side elevation oftheis'ame; Fig. 3 is an (ma-view; with a portion broken'away on the plane =1I'1*-'- (heated by the dotted line 33 on Fig. 4.

The loii er 'gtiide plate 4" is madeofsheet yyith. Wings 5 that project outward from each side. Between the upper and lower plates is a spacing block- 6 which is desirably made of fiber 01" a; like-noiseless substance. This block jis somewhat narj rower'than the upper gnicleiplate and with the side edges of gu'itle yays 7 for the carrier-travels. These parts areffaSF tenedtogether and se'cured' to the bottqm of the box-by screws 8.
